Girls' Spring Break

We really loved the house but the pool area is amazing! Normally we spend very little time in a rental house, opting for the beach and tourist areas, not this time. The tropical and private backyard oasis was too good to leave. We hope to come back and enjoy this home with additional family. PS - the outdoor bathroom & shower was a great surprise.

Thanksgiving Getaway

We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely be back again. The neighborhood was amazing, very well kept and quiet. It was the perfect place to relax after being busy with family all day. The hot tub was such a sweet treat and the owner made it so accessible. Anytime we wanted to use it she was available. Overall it was a comfortable clean place to call home for a few days. Just loved everything about it. Please consider staying here for your next visit. So worth it!

Tropical Oasis Close to Everything!!

Where do I begin? My family and I stayed at this rental property during our annual vacation for 9 lovely nights and we certainly could have stayed longer! The location was just a couple of blocks from the park and downtown area. The beach is just a short ride away as is the broad walk with all it has to offer! Check-In was flawless, as was check-out! Simone, the owner of the property, was hands down a delight! The home was exactly what we needed and we had no issues…. the one simple question I had in regards to turning something on/off was answered as quickly as it was sent! The backyard area is a literal mini paradise. We only spent a day and a half on the beach because we had everything we needed in that backyard with the gorgeous pool. I can’t imagine how long it took them to landscape it, but it’s perfection! You can tell the owner sincerely cares about the property and really strives to give guests an experience and not just a place to stay! I cannot recommend this property enough and I thoroughly plan to stay again next summer! Thank you Simone for providing such a wonderful place for visitors and vacationers to get a real sensation of being swept away to a tropical paradise!

Perfect Family Getaway: A Home Away from Home with a Fantastic Pool

We had a wonderful stay at this home! As a family with two toddlers, finding a comfortable and child-friendly environment was crucial, and this house exceeded our expectations. The kids absolutely loved the pool, and having all the amenities of a home made our stay so much easier. Simona, the owner, was incredibly attentive, checking in regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. We feel fortunate to have found such a perfect place with such a friendly and accommodating host.

Sunshine and fun - with a lovely owner to boot!

We really enjoyed our stay at Simona's place in Hollywood. Agree with all the other positive reviews on the cleanliness of the place. A lot of thought went into setting it up for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests. Place was immaculate. Location is everything for me, and this one was exactly what we were looking for. Easy bike ride or 4 min drive to beach. perfect pool and hot tub in the backyard. Walking distance to groceries, coffee shops, mexican, sushi, you name it. This was key as two of us are "get out and about early" types and the other two like to lounge and read / scroll for a few hours before adventures. It is a good 30-40 min drive to south beach (much closer to downtown Fort Lauderdale), but if you take the A1 south it's such an incredible drive with a ton of stuff along the way. We were there for spring break with the kiddos and had a delightful and very restful time. Simona was an exceptional owner with great communication. Any typical questions or issues that arise she's immediately responsive and helpful. By the end of the week we were exchanging restaurant reviews and ideas for the kids - she was a true gem. Thanks again! We'll be back!

Family trip

Overall, the house met our needs. The inside was very clean, although smelled musty/moldy. We’re from the Midwest, and I anticipate this is a challenge in the Florida humidity. The exterior around the pool deck was pretty covered with fallen leaves and debris from the tree. Same in the pool. The water level of the pool was pretty low (below the jets). Was happy to use the hose to add some, however I wish it had been more prepped for our arrival. The location to the beach and downtown is great. Easy to get around. The host was very responsive to messages. There were a couple of things that were misleading in the description. The pool did not seem heated as stated. The hot tub is heated, but note that you need to send a message 1 hr prior to each use to have the heat turned on. I wish it could remain on during the stay, or that we could have had access to a switch. There were few times we wanted to go in spontaneously and had to wait. Also note that the additional cottage on the property may be booked by other guests while you’re there. There are some common areas. The home is listed and “private”. I wasn’t as comfortable leaving our things around the pool or even going outside at night not knowing who was staying with us. We did run into our neighbors a couple of times (no issues). I’d describe the home as “semi-private”. There are some basic beach chairs and toys, but they were a little moldy being stored outside. Overall, a nice home.

Incredible location, great communication!

We had a wonderful stay at Simona's property during the April 2023 School Vacation week. Despite arriving just after the historic 1000 year rain storm in Fort Lauderdale, Simona and her property manager went above and beyond to ensure that the property was ready for our arrival, which was a huge relief! The pull-in driveway with a gate was a pleasant surprise and accommodated our massive rental vehicle with ease. It was especially helpful when our little one was sleeping in his car seat after a long day of travel and we could let him rest while we relaxed. The pool and hot tub were a highlight of our stay. The pool's layout is perfect for children, with ample steps and a deep end that isn't too deep. We loved how turning on the hot tub transformed the entire pool, making it an enjoyable experience for night swimming (one note, you have to ask Simona to turn it on via text, which she happily does whenever asked). The pool cabana was a great addition, complete with a fridge and TV, which made hanging out by the pool even more enjoyable. It's worth mentioning that the pool and outside space are common with the little cottage in the back of the property, but nobody was staying there during our visit so we had it all to ourselves. If having the pool area to yourself is important to you, it may be worth asking the property manager when you book. The location of the property is also worth noting. We were able to park right next to the beach each morning, which is just a 5-minute drive away. It was a relief to be able to head back to the property for lunch when the kids were ready in a very short amount of time. While the home didn't have some of the frills of some other VRBO's we've stayed at, the location and pool certainly made up for it. It really had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, although we did notice that there were no condiments like salt and pepper and limited cutlery upon arrival, which is something we have typically found in other VRBO rentals. However, this was a minor issue and did not detract from our overall enjoyment of the property. We would definitely consider staying at Simona's property again in the future.
